One team was able to be wave after wave relentless and the other team looked nothing like the team they were. CGY seemed to have to play a contain them style rather than play their game.
The adjustment after game one hugely tilted the balance of play for the remaining 4 games, Smith’s amazing play aside.

Personally I think thats speaking to playoff hockey. Much more difficult to utilize your strengths when the intensity ramps up and the other team is playing to take those away.
